SEJ's 29th Annual Conference, Fort Collins, CO [18]

Environmental Journalism 2019 will take place in Fort Collins, Colorado, hosted by Colorado State University. Colorado simultaneously boasts and suffers from a population explosion in Denver and other cities. This purple state is fertile ground for both clashes and collaborations among parties vying for rights to land, water and air, whether to preserve it for wildlife and human recreation or to exploit it for energy extraction. And it is fertile ground for stories! Visit the conference website [19]. See the draft agenda [20], find a hotel and roommates [21] or sponsor, advertise or exhibit [22].

Help Environmental Journalists Catch up to Climate Change [27]

This year, long-time SEJ member Meera Subramanian joined our board of directors to give back for the many ways SEJ has benefited her freelance career. As Meera puts it, "Earlier this month, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said: 'We are in deep trouble with climate change. Climate change is running faster than we are, and we must catch up sooner rather than later, before it is too late.' Part of catching up is supporting the organizations that support the journalists covering climate change and so many other important environmental issues around the world."
